The article says that former player, Merton Hanks, determined the amount for the fine. We don't really know how much of an influence Goodell had on the situation (although I'm sure it was plentiful). It at least appears as though he is passing the buck on a few things. Anyway, the flag would have been sufficient for about 99% of the players in the league. Suh has developed a reputation that precedes him, and this fine is a step toward teaching him to have some regard for the health and livelihood of his co-workers. It was an entirely unnecessary play that displays a sickening disconnect between playing hard and playing with intent to inflict harm outside of the framework of sportsmanship and honorable gamesmanship. The next step for plays of this nature from Suh should and will be suspension. While I am 110% FOR playing hard and aggressive, I do not see how anyone could condone plays such as this one or think that in-game penalties are sufficient for habitual plays of this nature. When plays like Suh's chop away from the ball become habitual, as they have for Suh, then THAT PLAYER has become the major problem and not any fine or punishment levied against them for such actions.

Only in "Goodell's" football can you get fined for playing football, who knew?

Oh I'm sure Goodell has his hands in everything that comes out of the league office

Chris Canty on Suh: It’s dirty, but offensive linemen do it all the time | ProFootballTalk

Police in an affluent Detroit suburb have cleared Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (ehn-DAHM'-uh-kehn soo) of any charges for waving a pellet gun in front of a cable company worker attempting repairs to a line on the player's property.

Birmingham police say the cable worker thought the gun looked like an assault rifle and feared for his safety. They say Suh told them he feared for his family and said he'd be even more aggressive protecting them than he is on the football field.

Police say the confrontation happened Aug. 16. Police say Suh didn't point the weapon at the Comcast employee but waived it around.

... yeah, I think they may have been removing his unauthorized/illegal filter to all the porn channels, .

$100,000 is a big fine.
I agree with SloMo. It seems this hit was a more of a late hit with a bit of nasty hit mixed in.
The fine is for this time and because of his reputation.
I do not like the guy.
